Done Jumped Off Into The Deep End .....

I have been looking at my stash .... looking at patterns .... back at my stash ..... back at the patterns. I finally decided to just jump in .... feet first!


This is my first knitted lace item. It's the Branching Out scarf pattern on Ravelry.












After I decided on this one, I read some of the comments. One said that it isn't a good first knitted lace project. Oh well ..... I decided to do it anyway. I'm not afraid of a challenge.

I figure that I'll take my time and go slow.

I don't know what the yarn is. This is some that I bought at the Goodwill store here.

Wish me luck!



I have had some fun these past few days and knitted some more dishcloths. Really, I tried to get my queue down some on Ravelry but when I took one off, I added a few more. Guess I lost a lot of ground. Oh well ..... this keeps me knitting and out of trouble ..... almost. It is so fun collecting patterns!



Here is what I accomplished .....


















This one is a Ravelry pattern. It's called Clover Tweed.

I absolutely love this cloth. I love the feel of it. I love the way it made up.

I wish that you could reach in and feel it.

My husband suggested an afghan made like this.
Hmmmmm ..........







This one is another Ravelry pattern, Illusion Heart.










It isn't a very big cloth. I guess it would be great for kids.

I know that my choices for the yarn wasn't the best bit I still like it :)






This one is Scrap Slip Stitch Tile.











The possibilities are endless.

I looked at this pattern and looked at the odds and ends that I have left over. It is a great way to use up the left-overs!

I know this pattern came from the Cloth of the Week group. This is a great group for dishcloth patterns and help. If someone is thinking about getting into knitting dishcloths, I would recommend this groups as well as the Monthly Dishcloth group.






This one is Tuscany Tile Roof. If I remember right, the pattern came from the Cloth of the Week group.










I really liked how this one came out. It's a great cloth.

I am trying to expand my knitting abilities. There are times that I get so frustrated though.






This one is called Twisted Crochet Dishcloth.











It's a real easy one to crochet and is real thick.

Thought about crocheting two together and using it for a hot pad.

The picture does not do it justice.









Kinda' puts me in mind of ......







I thought this one was cute. It is real easy to knit up and didn't take much time. I changed the boarder and added two rows to the bottom and one to the top to make it larger.

If I knit it up again, I'll add a few extra stitches to each side too.

This would be a cute one for a baby.


I know that I really need to get some things finished up for the fair. I have about three weeks left. So, if the weather isn't too hot, the dishcloths are put on hold.
